ALM-010 - ‘O/A/x2’
Introduction
‘O/A/x2’ is a dual channel attenuverter with each channel also including a bipolar
voltage offset and LED monitoring. The module is primarily intended for fine grain
flexible ‘editing’ of control signals (i.e changing the phase, level and DC offset of an LFO
signal) but also has uses with audio signals such as attenuation, inversion and mixing.
Feature list;
•Dual channel.
•Attenuate and invert input signals.
•Additional +/- 8v DC Offset controls .
•LED indication of outgoing signal polarity and level.
•A jumper setting allows for the module to also be used as a simple mixer.
•Reverse polarity protection.
•Skiff friendly.
•Designed and Made in the UK.
Technical Specifications
•Supply: +/-12V
•Current Draw: ~80ma
•Size: 4 HP
•Depth: 32mm (including power header)!

Offset adds or subtracts voltage (0-8v)
to the output signal.
Output signal combines both the offset
and attenuverted input signal.
LEDs indicate polarity and level.
Signal Input
Attenuverter controls
attenuation and polaration
of incoming signal
Bottom section duplicates top.
Optionally adding top output
as extra input.

General Usage
The O/A/x2 is split into two similar sections. For each section A signal patched into
an input be both attenuated (Atten knob full CCW is X +1) or inverted (Atten knob full
CCW is X -1) and have a DC offset added to it (Off knob full CV ~ +8v) or subtracted (Off
knob full CCV ~ -8v). Note the actual offset is not affected by the Atten control.
The LEDs indicate both the level (brightness) and polarity (red +ive, green -ive) of
the final outgoing signal.
On the rear of the module is a jumper marked ‘MIX’ - closing this jumper will
normalise the top section output to the lower section as an additional input. Thus with
no cable patched into the upper output the module can be used as a simple dual
channel mixer.
